Nobody loves the Boston nightlife scene more than we do. But every once in a while, we find ourselves itching for a change of scenery and a few new dance partners.

Our latest stop?

The super-swank Shrine at new Foxwoods destination the MGM Grand . Avoid trafficky times of day (and driving like your grandmother) and you should make it door-to-door in under two hours.

No worries if you're not the gambling type:

the two-story, Asian inspired restaurant and lounge, worth the trip for its ample outdoor terrace, stellar sushi, and kickass DJs, provides plenty of diversion.

And if you need more convincing?

A host of celebrities have already paraded through.
